The sun is about to set on SunEdison.

Once upon a time SunEdison was one of the most popular hedge fund hotel stocks, which however, just like Valeant, has led all of the hedge funds who were long the name (and still are) to ruin.

Case in point: yesterday the stock plunged another 25% following a DebtWire report that the company was in DIP loan negotiations with lenders, the final step before filing for bankruptcy, after talks to reach an out of court solution with 2nd lien lenders had failed.

Following two days of rangebound moves, where Monday's modest market rebound was undone by the Tuesday just as modest decline (despite the early surge higher on the latest "bullish for stocks" European terrorism), overnight equity action continued to be more of the same, and as of this moment S&P 500 futures were unchanged, while European stocks were modestly higher.

Former US Secretary of State and Democratic presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton, wanted President Bashar al-Assad to “go” so that Iran’s power in the region would get diminished and Israel’s security improved, at the expense of the escalation of the Syrian conflict, leaked emails from her private server reveal. Sputnik reports: As Clinton moves closer to victory in the Democratic primary, WikiLeaks compiled emails from her controversial private server into a convenient search engine. One of those emails demonstrates the former Secretary of State’s interest in Syrian regime change.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is all pumped up against Muslims, calling for surveillance, torture and banning of people from the Islamic faith following the Belgium terror attacks. “This is going to happen in the United States,” said Trump on his social media account, hours after the horrific suicide bombings in Brussels. He also said that the country of “Belgium” is one of the most beautiful “cities” in the world. How does he get away with it all? Only time will tell. Maybe it is not that difficult being a billionaire!

Trump and Clinton both claim they’re the better candidate for stopping terrorism.

Let’s fact-check their statements and their records …

Clinton

Hillary Clinton is largely responsible for regime change in Libya (for oil and gold?), the war in Syria (to help Israel?), violence in Honduras, and the entire concept of “humanitarian war”.

Clinton is largely responsible for the West’s backing of Al Qaeda and other Islamic terror groups, to act as the tip of the spear in fomenting regime change throughout the Middle East.
